what page does this relate to..its possible there is more context which your pages aren't showing
I can certainlt attest to the fact that shorter term moving averages are sometimes required. I'd even go as far as to say shorter time frames are also required.
take a look at this chart. the stop loss is miles away, because of the lack of price movement
its not a one size fits all ruling

That was an excerpt from Stan's original book. Whether he expressed the book incorrectly or printed it incorrectly, it made people unable to fully understand his meaning. I want to discuss this issue. If so, it means that he violated discipline. How should we correct this?

Do any of you have any experience with his books, and if so, would you say it compliments the do's and dont's of Stage Analysis?

Hi Haugaard,

I've have read both of his first two books multiple times and would very much say that it compliments Stan Weinstein book, as Mark Minervini uses Stage Analysis in his trading and talks about it in both books.

However, the difference is that Minervini is focused on much shorter time frames, and typically only trades in and out of stocks over a few months, and also include fundamentals, which are not used in Stage Analysis. Whereas as Weinstein is very heavily weighted towards the longer term investor method and is purely technical.

So I found that the books helped to expand on the trader method, and even introduced some new concepts such as the Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) – which I now find essential for all of my shorter term trades.
